Position within Georgia
8 citations — more than 86% of the 1,867 licensed assisted living facilities in Georgia. Compared only within Georgia: a citation from HFRD means what it means in Georgia, and there is no national assisted living record to compare to. Counted over 5 years, which holds two or three routine inspections. How this is calculated
Not in this record
Fire and life safety inspection, licence dates, and enforcement. The fire inspection of a Georgia assisted living community or personal care home is the State Fire Marshal's or the local fire authority's and is not published; what HFRD itself cites about the building — its safety precautions, emergency preparedness and design rules — is here. HFRD's file gives the date of the current permit, not the date the facility first opened, for most facilities, so the newly licensed list is partial. Fines, licence suspensions and revocations are recorded separately and not republished. Community living arrangements and adult day centers, which Georgia licenses under other rules, are not included.
